2 out of 3

I started my run today with a wet t-shirt.  Not all the way wet, mind, just the bottom, from where I had dunked it in the river the day before.  I debated wearing a dry t-shirt, but I only had one left with me, and I wanted to wear it later.  So, wet t-shirt.   Normally, something like that would have bugged me, but it did not today, for a couple of reasons:  1) it was going to rain anyhow, so really, I was just getting a jump on things 2) it sorta made me look like I had been running really hard before, so I figured maybe I would not look so pathetic panting while "running" at 4 mph and 3) it was 77 degrees @ 7:45 AM, so a little extra cooling power was just fine by me.  

The run went well, for the most part.  I missed the first run section, so I ended up doing a walk section as a run (!), and then just picked up the second half of the next run section...so basically 3 min of running.  I kept my head up and chest out, as I mentioned yesterday, and the shoulder pain was noticeably better.   I did learn an important lesson though...NO FOOD.   Even with my puny amount of running I was ready to hork up the cereal bar I had eaten prior to the run.

The workout:  2.01 miles/4.3 mph

Then, just to be cool, this evening I went swimming at the OCC.   No, I'm not a member, but one of the guys in the bike club has set up a good deal with the OCC were we can come lap swim for an hour free of charge.  Not sure how that works, but it's pretty awesome as it's the only time I can really make it out for lap swims.   As far as the workout goes...well, it was pretty sad.  I've lost a lot of ground from this winter, actually, an astonishing amount.   Still, I'm not super worried about the swimming just yet.   Lots of people are bad at the swim, and I will have all winter to worry about that.   In the meantime, I'll be happy to get in the occasional workout.   

Tomorrow...tomorrow I'm going to try running before work.   I'm not super thrilled about it, but quite frankly, this morning showed me that morning runs are probably going to be my best bet if I want to get serious about this.  

Scratch that...it's 10:12PM and I'm no where near being asleep.   As I need to be in bed by at least 9:30 to make working up at 5 or 5:30 work...no.
